2nd circuit

Employers generally investigate an employee’s discrimination or harassment claim internally, before a charge of discrimination is filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the state’s administrative agency equivalent.

The 2nd Circuit said yesterday that it would not rehear a case centered on an arbitration clause that would prevent American Express merchant customers from filing antitrust lawsuits against the company.
